I found it easier to use the 'create' method to call the slide or stop function. Eg, for a slider with a min/max range:

$('#height').slider({
        ...
        create: function(event, slider){ $( "#height" ).slider( "option", "values", [1100, 1500] ); handleHeightSlide('slide', $( "#height" ));},
        ...
    });
